Mezzanine at Marquis Theater

Hi, I was thinking of squeezing in a visit to the city to see Penn and Teller. I was looking for seats and found that all the good orchestra seats had been taken and mainly mezzanine seats are still available. Can anyone tell me about the mezzanine at the Marquis Theater and their experiences? It would be even better if someone has seen Penn and Teller and can tell me what their view was like.

I saw the show last week, and every seat in the Marquis provides a good view. The only caveat about the mezzanine is that you can't get called up as a volunteer, but that might be a good thing depending on your personality.

I completely agree. I've sat in the last row of the mezz there a few times and the view is excellent. And exiting is awesome, too. Very convenient and comfortable.

Doesn't Teller go up there for one of the bits?

Perhaps during the joke book trick, actually.

If you were at this afternoon's performance, the volunteer for Teller's needle trick was Wall Street Journal theatre critic Terry Teachout (source: his Twitter).
